# Location
The `Location` interface is a union of the ways to refer to a specific location in a Slate document: paths, points or ranges. Methods will often accept a `Location` instead of requiring only a `Path`, `Point` or `Range`.
```typescript
type Location = Path | Point | Range
```
## Static methods
###### `Location.isLocation(value: any): value is Location`
Check if a value implements the `Location` interface.
## Path
`Path` arrays are a list of indexes that describe a node's exact position in a Slate node tree. Although they are usually relative to the root `Editor` object, they can be relative to any `Node` object.
```typescript
type Path = number[]
```
## Point
`Point` objects refer to a specific location in a text node in a Slate document. Its `path` refers to the lcoation of the node in the tree, and its offset refers to distance into the node's string of text. Points may only refer to `Text` nodes.
```typescript
interface Point {
path: Path
offset: number
[key: string]: any
}
```
## Static methods
###### `Point.compare(point: Point, another: Point): -1 | 0 | 1`
Compare a `point` to `another`, returning an integer indicating whether the point was before, at or after the other.
###### `Point.isAfter(point: Point, another: Point): boolean`
Check if a `point` is after `another`.
###### `Point.isBefore(point: Point, another: Point): boolean`
Check if a `point` is before `another`.
###### `Point.equals(point: Point, another: Point): boolean`
Check if a `point` is exactly equal to `another`.
###### `Point.isPoint(value: any): value is Point`
Check if a `value` implements the `Point` interface.
###### `Point.transform(point: Point, op: Operation, options?): Point | null`
Transform a `point` by an `op`.
Options: `{affinity?: 'forward' | 'backward' | null}`
## Range
`Range` objects are a set of points that refer to a specific span of a Slate document. They can define a span inside a single node or they can span across multiple nodes. The editor's `selection` is stored as a range.
```typescript
interface Range {
anchor: Point
focus: Point
[key: string]: any
}
```
###### `Range.edges(range: Range, options?): [Point, Point]`
Get the start and end points of a `range`, in the order in which they appear in the document.
Options: `{reverse?: boolean}`
###### `Range.end(range: Range): Point`
Get the end point of a `range`.
###### `Range.equals(range: Range, another: Range): boolean`
Check if a `range` is exactly equal to `another`.
###### `Range.includes(range: Range, target: Path | Point | Range): boolean`
Check if a `range` includes a path, a point, or part of another range.
###### `Range.intersection(range: Range, another: Range): Range | null`
Get the intersection of one `range` with `another`.
###### `Range.isBackward(range: Range): boolean`
Check if a `range` is backward, meaning that its anchor point appears *after* its focus point in the document.
###### `Range.isCollapsed(range: Range): boolean`
Check if a `range` is collapsed, meaning that both its anchor and focus points refer to the exact same position in the document.
###### `Range.isExpanded(range: Range): boolean`
Check if a `range` is expanded. This is the opposite of `Range.isCollapsed` and is provided for legibility.
###### `Range.isForward(range: Range): boolean`
Check if a `range` is forward. This is the opposite of `Range.isBackward` and is provided for legibility.
###### `Range.isRange(value: any): value is Range`
Check if a `value` implements the `Range` interface.
###### `Range.points(range: Range): Iterable<PointEntry>`
Iterate through all the point entries in a `range`.
###### `Range.start(range: Range): Point`
Get the start point of a `range`
###### `Range.transform(range: Range, op: Operation, options): Range | null`
Transform a `range` by an `op`.
Options: `{affinity: 'forward' | 'backward' |
'outward' | 'inward' | null}`
